SUMMARY:Madalitso Band + Michael Sebastian - Open Air Show
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy the joyous sound of the Malawian duo as they blend homemade instruments with irresistible vocal harmonies at this outdoor show. \nThe Madalitso Band are a two man musical army from Malawi. Described as ‘Uplifting and Vibrant’ by the BBC\, they get crowds beaming with wonder and moving with joy every time. Their first album was produced by Bongo Joe records and the band has already performed at Glastonbury\, Womex\, Womad\, Roskilde\, Sauti Za Busara\, Shambala\, Boomtown…to name just a few. \nThe band plays the babatone – a popular home-made instrument in Malawi – and the four-string guitar\, creating the traditional Malawian ‘banjo’ sound. When not playing or touring\, babatone player Yobu Malinga works as a gardener and guitarist Yosefe Kalekeni works as a security guard\, however around Malawi they are increasingly revered as musical prophets. \n \nMichael Sebastian \nSouth African Michael Sebastian creates live dance music\, and is on a mission to liberate his audience. \nHe combines electronic\, world and jazz music to create an engaging and uplifting experience. Four Tet meets Fela Kuti with a dance crew. \n“Celebrating the collective euphoria of the rave\, “Move” encourages listeners to abandon their worries and live in the moment\, showcasing Sebastian’s talent for creating live dance music.” – Earmilk \nIn 2024 Sebastian released ‘Move’ a record celebrating and encouraging dance. He then took his crew of dancers & musicians on tour to festivals\, playing peak slots at Green Man\, Kendal Calling\, Secret Garden Party\, Wilderness & a headline on the main stage at Medicine festival. This was followed by an autumn headline tour to Berlin\, Brighton\, Bristol & London. \nSebastian has a strong impact in London with recent headline shows at EartH Hackney & Colour Factory\, support slots for James Blake\, Four Tet & Jamie XX at Alexandra Palace\, as well as being named a top 5 global Sofar artist. \nThe live show activates the audience uniquely\, an immersive high-energy hybrid live set\, that engages with musicianship\, movement\, and authentic expression. It unifies and motivates the crowd\, leaving them in a state of collective ecstasy. \n \nShare this event\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n				Telegram\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X
